Living on your own

Ryu - That's the best way to do it. One thing that will save you a hit to the wallet when setting up your own place ponder all the things you need in advance; house-ware crap etc. You can bide your time and find really good deals on things and keep them boxed up for when you move. Then most of you money can be focused on the rent and moving costs. If you already know who you are rooming with you can kind of plan out stuff. Roommates are kind of like marriage 0.9a ;) I like living alone for the most part but I do miss having someone to BS with at random times.
